The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) faction backed by Seyi Makinde, Oyo governor, has released its timetable and schedule of activities for the 2027 elections.
In a statement issued on Monday, Ini Ememobong, the PDP
spokesperson, said the timetable was approved by the national executive
committee (NEC) following the appointment of a 13-member interim national
working committee (NWC) to oversee the party’s affairs.
He said the party pegged the presidential forms at N100
million, comprising N10 million for expression of interest and N90 million for
nomination.
For the governorship ticket, the party fixed the expression
of interest form at N5 million and the nomination form at N35 million.
Senate aspirants are to pay N3 million for the expression of
interest form and N7 million for the nomination form, while those seeking seats
in the house of representatives will pay N2 million and N5 million,
respectively.
The nomination form for the state houses of assembly costs
N1.5 million, while the expression of interest form is pegged at N500,000.
Ememobong said women are exempted from paying for the
nomination form, while youths and persons with disabilities are to pay 50
percent of the nomination form for the offices of their choice.
He said the sale of expression of interest and nomination
forms will commence from May 5 to May 13, while the deadline for submission of
completed forms is May 14.
Ememobong said the screening of aspirants will take place
from May 15 to May 18, with screening appeals scheduled for May 21.
The party spokesperson said the publication of cleared
aspirants is billed for May 22, while ward primaries for all offices will hold
on May 27, followed by appeals on the primaries on May 28.
Ememobong said the NEC meeting to approve all nominated
candidates is slated for May 29, while a special convention for candidates’
ratification will be held on May 30.
Last month, a faction of the PDP backed by Nyesom Wike,
minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), released its timetable and
schedule of activities for the 2027 elections.
The Wike group pegged the presidential form at N51 million,
including N1 million for expression of interest and N50 million for nomination.
